History

The Mutants who were used by Project Purgatory to open a dimensional portal to Limbo. They were handed over to the government in good faith but Project Purgatory's true plans were to secretly weaponize them as a contingency against mutants. However, their base was attacked and General Combest sealed off a dimensional portal that stranded Project Purgatory in the hellish Limbo dimension for a total of 26 years. In order to protect himself and his soldiers in the hellish dimension, General Ulysses conditioned the Inferno Babies to become merciless super-soldiers who are loyal to him. When they first confront the New Mutants they are 11 in total.
